Title: Gloria Sprayer. This yin any gid?
Post by: Carpet Dawg on June 10, 2011, 09:48:36 pm: Alreeeet

I thought i'd treat myself to a new "longer lasting" sprayer and decided to buy this one:

Whats the difference between this one and the one thats all steel on the outside? i.e. not painted. The one i the link is also steel.

Search me! All I can assume by comparing on various sites is it is cheaper to manufacture by 'lining' with plastic instead of stainless steel.

Well i'm sure it'll be better than an all plastic one. Never had a fancy sprayer before :P

Post by: Fran84 on June 11, 2011, 08:49:22 am: Ive had all sorts of sprayers including a gloria.(granted not that one)

The best one Ive had is the hozelock from B&Q. Bought it in an emergency and its still going strong.

Cheers.

The £15 sprayers are great. Mine has lasted 1yr so far and used alot!
Good spray pattern too and does the job.

Post by: richy27 on June 15, 2011, 10:10:15 pm: I bought 2 hudson stainless sprayers from solo sprayers few months ago. 8 litre and 4. Think they were. 75 and 60 quid both with good quality metal lance. Build quality is good. And they are cheap enough personally can't see the point in spending 200 plus on sprayers.

Post by: markpowell on June 16, 2011, 09:02:58 am: The thing with any sprayer is making sure you let the pressure off at the end of each job, saves all the stress on the seals etc.
The IK9 are a good sprayer, make sure you keep a spare hose and piston seal on the van.
I got one somewhere must be 10 years old and still in good working order.

Post by: Carpet Dawg on June 16, 2011, 09:00:19 pm: Its the hose that goes Mark. At the top end and the bottom. They need to make the hose alot more thougher and maybe even a metal plunger. Then it would be a great sprayer!
